Nail art is vastly popular in Korea and you can find many K-Pop idols with unique nail designs. These nails are a fun way of expressing yourself. Here is a list of a few Korean nail trends to help inspire your perfect summertime nails!

Watercolor

The watercolor nail trend consists of overlapping multiple colors on one nail, creating a harmony of colors that run into each other like a watercolor painting. It is a unique way to wear bright, summery colors while making a statement.

Chunky Glitter

Chunky glitter adds a bold touch to any look that you may be creating. Using a simple pastel color for the base, place chunky glitters or even small stickers to add a bonus touch to your nails.

Accent Thumbnail

A statement nail can bring a slight bling to any chic nail look. In Korea, it has become popular to choose the thumbnail as the accent piece for your nails.

One trend for the accent nail is to start with a clear base and then add a border on the nail with different complementary colors. This creates a colorful take while using the negative space on the nail.

At the nail salon Nail A La Mode, it has become a trend for the statement nail to have a gingham pattern that matches the other nail colors, bringing out a subtle nail look.

Bedazzled

Creating themes for your nails is a fun take to express the season. Using little jewels or gems in different styles as accent pieces can bring a 3D look to your nails.

French Manicure

One trend is a spin on the French manicure that uses pastel colors instead of the white tip. Even creating accent nails can add a simple but summery take on this elegant look.

Another style is to add jewels near the cuticles when creating the French manicure style.

Dried Flowers

Adding tiny dried flowers brings a delicate touch as a nail accent. It can even be made as the main design, with each nail decorated with different dried flowers, bringing a chic statement to your nails.
